Drowned In Castine Harbor.

In entering Castine harbor last Thursday after
noon the steamer Richmond ran into and sunk the
sloop yacht Mike, in which were three young men,
one of whom, Charles Shepherd, son of |. L. Shcp.
herd of Castine, was drowned. Capt. Dennison
in an Interview Friday afternoon said
The collision wholly unavoidable on the
part of the steamer and is result have long ex-
pccted from the habit venturesomc small craft
have of sailing near us. The Mike carried small
brass cannon and it the intention of the Young
men to salute the Richmond. Young Goo,lnow,
who was good sailor, gave up the helm to Shep-
herd in order to fire the salute. Twice they came
about under our very bow and the third time they
tried 1t with fatal result. The steamer was slow
Ell at first to enable them to keep free then when
collision seemed inevitable, was stopped and re-
versed. Everything was done that could possibly
be done by the steamers officials avoid the cats,s
trophe. The two occupants of the boat who were
rescued, acknowledge that the blame was altogeth-
er their own and that the steamer was in no way
responsible.
This statement is fully corroborated by the pas
sengers on board, and among the number was Mr..
b. F. Wells, of this city, who testifies to the efforts
made by the steamer to avoid the collision and to
the prOmptness with which aid was extended to
those in the water.

John Swnton says that within year the
knights of Labor have lost much more than
half their membership. In New York. New
Jersey, Pennsylvania and Connecticut the fall
ing of has reached nearly two-trtls, and in
some Of the Western States the ratio is fully
the deca'lence Of the order. At the beginning
Of the last year there were over 200 of them in
the nltcd states; at the present time their
number is less than one hundred, and at least
onc-half of these are on the verge of cxtnc-
ton. The alleged labor organ in this city is
SICK, and those WHO are carrying the concern
are sicker.
